On Sunday KPC celebrated British Science Week. This was a brilliant opportunity for the whole family to get involved and learn loads of cool things from some real life scientists from the University of Strathclyde! Here are some of the amazing entries we had for the nationwide poster competition! #bsw2019

We've been so impressed listening to interviews with Greta Thunberg and the school strikers this week. Such quiet, powerful articulacy. It's why we teach our children to read, isn't it? To give them the tools and the confidence to inform themselves about the world.

British Science Week, you were great! I don’t think I want to see weetabix for some time though! Thank you to Little Pixies Nursery for this photo collage of the professors making 💩! We started off the week at Little Rascals UK for a special science and play event. Today we’ve made more 💩 in class and our older professors learned all about the lungs and respiration and made a working model lung. The professors at Frankwell Tots to Twelves will also be learning about lungs on Monday. If anyone else has anymore photos they would like to share, then please do. I hope you’ve all had lots of fun 😊🔬💩👄👃🏻🗣👩🏼‍🔬👨🏻‍🔬🥽🔎. Professor Lainey #bsw2019

This 12th-century ewer from Afghanistan was scanned in our X-ray lab, located 4 floors underground. The lab operates at 450,000 volts – that’s 90,000 times more than a phone charger! ⚡ Using this technology, scientists can work out how objects like this were made. #BSW2019

Here at @gaia.innovation we have been involved in this celebration of STEM. Today team member @danihumphreys1 visited Tinsley Meadow Primary School to participate in a Career Speed Networking event with Year 6 students. What are you doing for #BSW2019 ? Log onto britishscienceweek.org for some great ideas.

For Science Week we filmed a Year 7 BASS (Becoming a Seaford Scientist) lesson. Students explored relationships and patterns using the branches in bushes just outside their classroom! To find out more about the lesson copy & paste the link: https://www.seaford.org/2019/03/taking-the-lesson-outside/ Thank you to Head of Science, Seb d'Agar for the fantastic lesson. Our students really enjoyed working in a team and solving problems. #lovetolearn#BSW19 #scienceweek #scienceweekuk #BSW2019#BritishScienceWeek #science #ScienceWeek2019

#Repost@britishmuseum • • • • • It’s #BritishScienceWeek and #WomensHistoryMonth, so we’re sharing the work of three trailblazing naturalists and artists – Maria Sibylla Merian and her daughters, Dorothea Graff and Johanna Herolt. Maria Sibylla Merian was an unconventional figure in the scientific world of the late 17th century. Few contemporaries could match her sophisticated combination of art and science. In 1699 she travelled with Dorothea to Surinam in South America, where they made intricate illustrations of plants and animals native to the area. Merian returned to Amsterdam in 1701 and published her research – the first scientific work produced about the region. Merian trained her two daughters to be equally adept natural history artists. The first image depicting a caterpillar and a bitter orange is by Merian, the second is attributed to Graff, and the last is considered to be a collaboration between Merian and Herolt – the bird and butterfly are by Maria, but the fig branch is by Johanna 🍊🐛 #BSW2019#WHM2019#science#MariaSibyllaMerian#illustration#drawing#NaturalHistory#BritishMuseum#London#UK

🌟🍰🎉 FREE CAKE 🎉🍰🌟 . Okay, now I've got your attention, I can reveal that this post is actually about British Science Week 😊 Specifically, the Weather Rescue Hack-a-thon that's happening this Saturday 16th March at @workdotlife on King's Road, Reading. . In a few words, the event is part of a Citizen Science project aiming to digitise over 2.5 million pieces of historical handwritten weather data, so it can be used by climate scientists and meteorologists in modelling our future climate. For me, participating in this project goes hand-in-hand with the changes I'm making to live more sustainably and reduce my carbon footprint; it's all part of doing my bit to help our environment . There are two FREE drop in sessions running on Saturday (1-3pm and 3-5pm), where you can hear from and question the scientists behind this project, and then get to work with the data (you need to take your own laptop/tablet!) And I wasn't lying about the free cake - I'll be supplying some goodies to keep you going 😊 I'll pop the link to book in my bio - it's free but places are limited. . Not local to Reading or can't make Saturday? Don't worry! You can participate online at any time by heading to weatherrescue.org . If you made it to the end of this mammoth caption, leave a 🌍 in the comments to let me know! . . . #cake#baking#vegan#glutenfree#sustainability#carbonfootprint#climatechange#greenliving#science#stem#womeninstem#weather#hackathon#data#digital#citizenscience#reading#linkinbio#doyourbit#britishscienceweek#bsw#bsw2019

Ever wondered how to create dialogue for a robot? Our Junior Developer, Jordan has been showing other aspiring techies how to create a dialogue flow for our Pepper robot at the British Science Association's Industrial Strategy Science Fair in Royal Academy of Engineering, London.

The Academy is kicking off British Science Week with Year 12s making esters from alcohol and carboxylic acid. The Science Department have exciting experiments planned all week and they are all dressed up for a 'Guess the Element' game. #BSW2019#BSW19#BritishScienceWeek 🔬🧠🧪🔥🚀

Primary school is all about discovery and excitement. Dividing children into scientists and the rest happens later. Up to 11, they're acquiring the same core skills that make confident readers and writers, as well as able mathematicians and scientists. At this stage, story books are brilliant for introducing children to ideas about how the world works. We love 'The Rabbit Problem' by author/illustrator @emily_gravett - it's an extraordinarily inventive book exploring the Fibonacci sequence of numbers, overlaid with sense of the seasons in nature, and SRE (what with the rabbits multiplying!). . . Happy #BritishScienceWeek

Tomorrow marks the start of British Science Week 2019! We've asked our students to create an article, poster or poem about their scientific journeys. Stay tuned as we reveal the winner next Friday 15th March! #BritishScienceWeek#BSW2019
